  • Will I get my money back if I win my case?

    The only way in which you may recieve costs back is if we successfuly obtain a Defence Costs Order from the court at the conclusion of your case, this can be subject to various factors and we can discuss those with you.  We appreciate the money that clients pay to finance their representation, and we have at the forefront of our minds the possibility of obtaining a proportion of this back for clients where we can.
